From Rotary International:

Recent flooding and landslides in southern Brazil have caused more than 43,000 people to flee their homes and left 84 dead after days of heavy rain. Government officials estimate that 1.5 million people total have been affected. Transport is paralyzed in many areas because roads were
cut off by flooding and landslides making aid delivery difficult. The state of Santa Catarina is reported to be the most heavily affected area. Residents are in immediate need of food, clean water, medicine, and shelter. District 4650 is collecting financial contributions and donated goods to assist victims. Relief distribution will be managed by a District 4650 Task Force comprised of local Rotary, Rotaract, and Interact clubs, and Youth Exchange students.

this office with just one chair.”

QUIP OF THE WEEK:

Totally Bats

Two bats are going for their midnight feed. After an hour or so, one bat gets tired of looking and goes home with no blood.

The other bat comes home with blood dripping from its mouth. The first bat says enviously, “Where did you get all that blood from?”

The second bat replies, “Follow me. I`ll show you.” After awhile the second bat leads them to a cave. He says, “You see that wall over

there?” The hungry bat excitedly says, “Yes!”

QUIP OF THE WEEK:

Little Nancy’s Pet

Little Nancy was in the garden filling in a hole when her neighbor peered over the fence. Interested in what the little girl was up¬†to, he politely asked, “What are you up to there, Nancy?”

“My goldfish died,” replied Nancy tearfully, without looking up, “and I’ve just buried him.”

The neighbor was concerned, “That’s an awfully big hole for a goldfish, isn’t it?”

Nancy patted down the last heap of earth and then replied, “That’s because he’s inside your cat.”
